Get the Best Price - Property Makes Profits in Cooling Market

Recent reports say Property owners popped $640m in the bank from sales over a three month period despite a cooling market with fewer sold. The new data from CoreLogic from the last quarter of 2017 showed there was still healthy profit to be made from property.

The company's Pain and Gain report shows Aucklanders snapped up the largest gains in the country with a median profit of $370,000 per sale. This was up from $360,000 in the previous quarter. Nick Goodall from CoreLogic said the number of properties sold at a loss also continued to fall. "Capital gains have slowed down dramatically but those that are selling are pocketing pretty hefty wads of cash," he said.  "It's not surprising because we have had such great growth."

Other parts of the country enjoyed property gains - although not as large as those pocketed by Auckland sellers. The median gains made per sale were $206,500 in Hamilton,$227,500 in Tauranga, $200,500 in Wellingon and $135,000 in Christchurch. The third quarter of 2017 saw an increase in the number of properties sold at a loss but this has dropped back again.
